Fairport and Perinton sit along the 524-mile New York State Canal System. I visited the annual Canal Days festival. There was a time when I was really into the arts and crafts thing. Then I turned 8 years old. However, it appears that many people remain interested.

Other news: My wife and I celebrated her birthday last Wednesday at Cappucino Italiano (585-377-0940) on the north side of the tracks (recenty relocated from Park Ave. in Rochester), and we had a great, reasonably priced meal in a pleasant dining room (yeah, I was too engrossed in my lovely wife and my food to shoot a photo). On Friday we ate at the reopened Casa Azteca Mexican restaurant (585-425-0393) in Perinton Square Mall, still fast and delicious (and again with the lovely wife but no photos). Finally, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will welcome Anne Lam as the new organist and choir director next Sunday.
